I am a Licensed Psychology Associate in Maryland under the supervision of Dr. Allyson Kett and a doctoral extern pursuing my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at Stevenson University, where I also earned my master’s degree in clinical psychology. I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). I provide therapy to adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, academic and relationship stress, ADHD, autism, grief, and major life transitions. My approach is person-centered, with a focus on empathy, flexibility, and collaboration. I incorporate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and personal goals exploration, often using analogies and shared reflection to deepen insight. I believe therapy works best when it is tailored to the individual, grounded in genuine understanding, and leaves space for both seriousness and humor.
Professional Experience
I have worked in outpatient, hospital, and private practice settings, providing therapy and conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults in individual and family formats. In addition to therapy, I have experience in psychological, neuropsychological, and psychoeducational assessment. My assessment training includes work at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, Integrative Psychological Services, LLC, and Sheppard Pratt, where I gained experience across various clinical populations and testing formats. My clinical training has emphasized flexibility, warmth, and integrating evidence-based approaches to support clients with diverse needs and backgrounds.
Life Outside of the Office
I live in Anne Arundel County and enjoy hiking, exercising, writing, exploring local eateries, watching stand-up comedy, playing music, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
